S. Williams v Muguruza 2016 Roland-Garros Women"s Highlights / Final Williams and Bertens played on an almost empty Court Philippe ChatrierAndy Murray v Stan WawrinkaVenue: Roland Garros, Paris Dates: 3 June Time: Not before 14:00 BSTCoverage: Live radio and text commentary on selected matches on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, the BBC Sport website and app.
Serena Williams is aiming to level with German Steffi Graf on 22 major singles titles as she takes on Garbine Muguruza in the French Open final on Saturday.
The American top seed was well below her best, but beat unseeded Dutch player Kiki Bertens 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 in the semi-final.
Spanish fourth seed Muguruza impressed in a 6-2 6-4 win over former finalist Sam Stosur of Australia.
"If I get there it will be great," said Williams, 34.
"The only thing can I do is just play to win the tournament and that"s it."
If Williams lifts the title, it would put her two behind all-time leader Margaret Court of Australia.
Muguruza is through to her second Grand Slam finalWilliams out of sorts but into final
Defending champion Williams had made a host of errors in her quarter-final and was unusually inconsistent again as she faced an opponent making her Grand Slam semi-final debut.
Both women went into the match with injury doubts - Bertens struggling with her calf and Williams reportedly playing through a thigh problem.
Bertens, ranked 58th, had plenty of chances in the first set against a sluggish Williams, earning seven break points and two set points, but Williams came back from 4-2 down to clinch it in an unpredictable tie-break.
Two dreadful volleys, one of them on set point, illustrated Williams" lack of form but experience dragged her through, and she came back from a break down to take control of the second set.
Muguruza makes short work of Stosur
Saturday will see a repeat of last year"s Wimbledon final after Muguruza swept aside 2010 runner-up Stosur on a barren Court Suzanne Lenglen.
The 22-year-old, who was born in Venezuela, raced into a 4-0 lead and took the opening set in 32 minutes.
A sixth double-fault by Stosur gave Muguruza a 5-2 lead in the second set but she faltered with victory in sight, playing a poor service game, before closing it out at the second opportunity.
Muguruza is the first Spanish woman since Conchita Martinez in 2000 to reach the final in Paris.
"Emotions can sometimes be bad when you make a final," said Muguruza. "Sometimes you just have to stay calm, prepare yourself as best you can and play with no regrets."

He"s known for causing controversy wherever he goes, but Kanye West insists that he"s just a family man at heart.
The 38-year-old admitted that he wakes up and reads fan comments after sharing epic Twitter rants, and revealed that they only upset him if they are about his wife Kim Kardashian or their two children.
"I"m crazy about my kids. I"m crazy about Kim," he said on Friday in Los Angeles during an interview on the Big Boy"s Neighborhood radio show on Real 92.3, according to E! News.

"I"m so happy to be a father": Kanye West gushed about his wife and children during an interview on the Big Boy"s Neighborhood radio show on Friday. He is pictured with daughter North last week
Kanye added: "I"m so happy to be a father. I want to learn what my daughter has to say. What she learns. I just want to learn how she learns in this world. I"m extremely protective."
But while the rapper does confess to being hurt when he reads cruel comments about his family, he said he has no regrets about anything he has posted on social media.
"We"re going to be gone in 100 years," he explained. "I can"t say enough."
Kim and Kanye, who celebrated their second wedding anniversary last month, are parents to two-year-old daughter North and five-month-old son Saint.
Family man: The rapper confessed he is "crazy about Kim and the kids". He is seen here with Kim last month
And the star said that the reason he decided to partner up with Adidas to create his hugely popular Yeezy trainers was all to provide for his little girl.
"When I left Nike for Adidas I did it for my daughter," Kanye said during the interview. "There was an opportunity to grow."
He added: "There was love and admiration at Adidas, this was to make a better life for my daughter."
Kanye wasn"t just appearing on the show to discuss his more infamous Twitter tirades - which have included slamming Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose, claiming he is $53million in debt and ranting about in-app purchases.
"I can"t say enough": Kanye, pictured with Kim and North in Cuba last month, said he has no regrets about any of his Twitter rants
He also debuted the first song from his Cruel Winter compilation: Champions (Round & Round), which features the likes of Travis Scott, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Desiigner, Yo Gotti and Quavo.
Speaking about the track, Kanye said:"I"m a champion. I"m a winner. I came to innovate. I came to change."
The father-of-two also claimed he is working on new music almost "constantly" and compared himself to Michael Jackson.

Meanwhile, Kanye"s creative studio was robbed recently while he was in London with Kim.
Police sources told TMZ that the thieves made off with laptops and desktop computers worth $20,000.
And while thecomputers all potentially had different projects that Kanye was working on them including new music and designs for his clothing line, they fortunately had"heavy-duty tech security".
Due to the nature of the theft Kanye"s team believes it could have been an inside job as it looked as if it had been carried out by someone who knew what was in the office, insiders claimed to TMZ.
2016 Lifetime Movie - Toni Braxton Unbreak My Heart
The illustrious career of R&B"s sultriest diva, Toni Braxton, is one that up-and-coming artists dare to dream of.
With 67 million albums sold worldwide, lead starring roles on Broadway and multiple television executive producer credits under her belt, the music veteran has created quite the legacy for herself.
Signed to LaFace Records in the early "90s by Antonio "L.A." Reid and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Braxton released a string of hits from albums (Toni Braxton, Secrets and The Heat) leading her to become one of the top-selling artists in music"s golden era.
In January, the 48-year-old diva teamed up with Lifetime to give fans a glimpse of her tackling tumultuous challenges both behind closed doors and in the media spotlight. The biopic, Unbreak My Heart, narrated her two bankruptcies, exhausting battle with Lupus and facing her son Diezel"s autism diagnosis.
She has also opened up her world to fans in her reality show, Braxton Family Values, which chronicles the life and times of the Braxton sisters and their mother Evelyn.

The seven-time Grammy winner recently treated her New York fans to a special Mother"s Day Concert at Kings Theater in Brooklyn. The performance, sponsored by Grammy Park Foundation, captured Toni in her truest essence onstage. You know, that silky-smooth, deep voice that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Yup, she still has it.
Throughout the show, Toni serenaded the crowd with every last hit in her legendary catalog. Frequently, yet humbly, she ushered audience members onstage to duet acoustic versions of "Another Sad Love Song" "Hurt You" and "You"re Makin" Me High."
NBCBLK"s entertainment contributor Alex Titus chatted briefly with Toni after her performance about her favorite song to perform, the rapper she wants to collaborate most with, and her friendship with Prince.

Congratulations on an amazing performance at Grammy Park. New York showed out for you!
New Yorkers always come out to have a good time. There"s just a certain level of energy that you can find here that you won"t find anywhere else in the world. It"s also the hometown of my favorite rapper of all time, the late great Notorious B.I.G. I enjoy covering "Big Poppa" during the show. That"s one of his best songs.
My favorite all time Toni Braxton song is "Love Shoulda Brought You Home"? Do you have a favorite song that you enjoy performing the most?
I have a couple of songs that I love to perform like "He Wasn"t Man Enough" or "Seven Whole Days." Some shows I"ll do a song that hasn"t been released. I have to change it up sometimes and do a favorite of my own. Out of all the singles and songs that people know, "Breathe Again" is definitely my favorite because it really makes me joyful. Although this time when I was in rehearsal practicing, it made me tear up a bit because Prince actually told me that this was his favorite songs of mine. So, performing it now means much more to me than it ever did.
Yes, I saw your touching tribute to him on Instagram. A huge loss for everyone. What is your fondest memory with him?
Prince called me up to hang out one day, but first we had to pick up my sister Tamar at the airport. Oddly enough, she had chitterlings in her purse and he was like, "What, is she kidding me?" He thought that was the most hysterical thing ever.
But my fondest memory of him is when we hung out in Vegas. He came to my show at the Flamingo and then I went to his at the Rio. After that we hung out, ate and drank. Well, Prince didn"t drink, but I had a few glasses of wine. I miss those times of getting to know him better because we all were intrigued by his mysteriousness. But once you got to know him, you understood why he was so special. His energy couldn"t be contained.

The one thing I loved most about him was his advocacy for artists in the industry. He taught me about preserving my music, my talent and to never compromise my integrity. Prince was one of the artists that called me when I was about to retire and he said, "Toni Braxton, you cannot retire. It"s too early and you"re gifted to even think this."
When I experienced my second bankruptcy, he called me up to open up for him on tour, but I couldn"t because I had just been diagnosed with Lupus. He was like an older brother who always swooped in to save the day during my most difficult times.
How are you feeling today?
I have my days when I get extremely tired, but today is a good day. Of all the lupus" I have the worst, but of the worst, I have the best. I"m very lucky.
You and Babyface received a Grammy for your 2014 album Love, Marriage & Divorce. Are you guys going to be releasing anymore music together and are you working on a solo project right now?
We"ve been talking about a doing a sequel to the first album, but as of now, we"re taking a little break. His album just came out few months ago and I"m in the process beginning to work on my own project. If I could choose anyone to collaborate with right now, it would be Drake. No, it"s not a cougar thing (laughs), I just think he"s ridiculously talented. I call him a snapper because he sings and raps. I"m a huge fan and my kids Denim and Diezel are probably tired of me singing "Back to Back" all the time.
Back in the "90s it was you Whitney, Mariah, Janet and Mary. What do you remember about those times in music, was it super competitive?
I never thought as Whitney as competition. She"s the queen and all of us were trying to be like her. Mariah came out a few years before me with "Vision of Love" and she"s one of the best to ever do it. People tried to make competition between Mary and I, but she was more Hip-Hop and I was more R&B.
I never really had a nemesis. Whitney had Mariah, but Mary and I never really had any tension, we all were able to walk our own path and have stellar careers. We each had our own lane and that"s what I loved about that era.
When I watch my fellow artists, it makes me go "Wow I really have to step it up."
The public would naturally think of us competing, but I never think of it that way. When I watch my fellow artists, it makes me go "Wow I really have to step it up." It pushes you to push yourself even harder. It inspires me to become even more creative and come up with ideas.
The texture and dark tone of your voice has always set you apart from the rest. There are few other female artists that can effortlessly kill a lower register. I remember you once said that R. Kelly stated that your voice was too deep like a man. Did you always embrace your voice?
Thank you so much! I love having the flexibility to go deep. I remember when I first started out, Elton John told L.A. Reid that he loved my voice and I was pretty moved by that because there we no other females out who were singing that low. There were moments in the beginning that I probably second guessed my talent, but I always knew that I could move people with the emotion in my voice.
I have a uniquely styled voice and when you hear my sound, immediately you know that it"s me and that equals longevity in business, so I"m fortunate. There wasn"t a lot of people I could sing like or aspire to be like when around when I was younger. Once Anita Baker came along, she was perfect for me. Michael McDonald too, even though he was older, he was a male vocalist whose notes I could really hit. I had to sneak to listen to him but I remember him being an inspiration.

Ms. Evelyn didn"t play when it came to that secular music?
Nope, she sure didn"t. My siblings and I are preacher"s kids, so we were raised with a very religious background. Very old testament style. They were very strict with us. I had no clue what R&B music was when I was younger because all we listened to were gospel hymns. We even had to sneak to watch Don Cornelius on Soultrain on Saturday mornings.
In the commercial for the newest season of Braxton Family Values, it seems as if there is tension brewing with you and Tamar against Traci, Towanda and Trina. What are you guys fighting about?
It"s a fight out of love (laughs). Tamar and I are on the West and Traci, Towanda and Trina live on the East Coast. We are definitely at odds, but we"re fighting for a good reason. I can"t give away any secrets, but once you see it, it"s all going to make sense. As family we fuss and we fight, but we always have each other"s back.
Congratulations on the excellent ratings on your Lifetime biopic, Unbreak My Heart. Was the movie along with your 2011 autobiography, Unbreak My Heart: The Memoir, great forms of release therapy for you?
Writing the book was, I can"t deny it. I always tell people there was a fine line because I wanted to tell my story and not my family"s story. That was the hardest part because family is obviously such a huge part of my life.
Writing very therapeutic, but executive producing the movie was different. I had to question myself if I was comfortable with having someone play me because reading is different than visualizing. I wasn"t there when they had rehearsal or while they were shooting. I was there for pre-production and post-production because I wanted the storytelling to flow naturally.
Lexi, the girl who played me was fantastic and she fit all the dresses. Those were all of the costumes I wore. I saved everything, I"m d**n near a hoarder. When I watch the movie and look back on my life, I can"t believe I made it through the things I"ve experienced. I"m a survivor and I feel very proud that I"m here and still standing.
Season 5 of Braxton Family Values airs Thursdays at 9pmET on WeTV.

Mohamed Ali Jicho Pevu full interview with JKL on KTN TV Mohamed Ali
Mohamed Ali is known for his daring investigative reports. He tells SHIRLEY GENGA about his work-life balancing act
Who is Mohammed Ali?
I am G*d fearing man. I believe in myself, if you do not believe in you who will believe in you? I do my work without expecting favours or praises, I simply do what I do because I love it. There are those who say that I have maringo or that I am arrogant; I think people misinterpret my frank nature as arrogance; with me what you see is what you get with me. If I can help I will help but if I am unable I will tell you to your face. I am not two-faced. That helps me live a very peaceful life.
As an investigative journalist you get to cover a lot of dark and gut wrenching and even hopeless stories, how do you ensure you do not carry them home?
It all started in 2008 and at first the stories I did would haunt me long after I left work. It got so bad that I would have nightmares but I had to teach myself to separate work from my personal life or it would destroy me. These days I know where to draw the line, I know what to carry home with me and what to leave at work.
Who is at home?
My wife and children. I have been married for five years. Marriage is everything, it changes your life completely, in fact its half the religion. I am very protective of my family, I believe in respecting my familys privacy, because I am the one who has chosen this life not my wife or my children I go out of my way to protect them so they can live a normal life.
How do you deal with the threats?At first we were very scared but over time you get used to it and become hardened.
And your wife, how does she take it?
Shes very supportive of what I do. She knows that its not my story that Im telling...that its the peoples story and if it can help somebody then I should go for it. But she does get discouraged. She sometimes asks me, if you are telling them the truth and they dont want to listen, why are you doing this? She gets worried as my wife and as the mother of my children. Sometimes she wants me to do something else.
What was it like to be a dad for the first time?
Holding a baby was a new thing in my life. I was scared to hold her for more than a minute. But when you have a second baby, it gets easier. You understand more about babies and their needs.
What do you think about Valentines Day?
It is a western thing and it is childish. It is not African. Love is 24/7. Every day. Love has no specific date.
